Woman's bedroom bikini photo goes viral for the BEST reason
VIRAL: Alexis Poole makes a very valid point in her latest Instagram picture.
Instagram can be both a blessing and a curse. While it's fun to peruse through your feed as a form of escapism, it can also be harmful for people's body image if they constantly see "perfect" sculpted bodies.
A recent study even revealed that women who follow plus-size women on the social media platform feel better about their body image than women who don't.
Nutritionist Alexis Poole recently posted a photo of herself in a black bikini on her Instagram page. The accompanying caption said: "So here goes.
This is me, my most vulnerable, most exposed body. I dont have visible abs but I guarantee I can probably out plank a few people who do.
"Not to mention that my cardiovascular fitness and general health is pretty good. And thats the point.".
Alexis is sick of the obsession around weight loss and feels there is too much emphasis put on ideals. She added: "My outer appearance is by no means an indication of what lies on the inside, be it my strength or my health.
And that is the reason for this post.
"I am so frustrated with the obsession around weight loss, trust me, Ive spent many years fretting over how to achieve my ideal weight, and guess what? I never got there, or so I thought.
"Were lead to believe that once were at a smaller weight well be so much happier. I couldnt have got this more wrong.".
Alexis said she was actually more miserable when she was thinner – she didn't go out, she was antisocial, she didn't drink and she basically lived at the gym.
She said: "I just want to show people that even though on the surface my Instagram pictures probably make me look smaller than I am, I just know what clothes suit my shape.
"People have their own stories, people have their own relationship with food and the way they look.
Dont judge, be happy, and please dont think the only way to be healthy is to diet and lose weight." Alexis' post has since gained hundreds of comments from her followers who loved her words of encouragement.
